  • In which John Green teaches you about relations between the early English colonists and the Native people they encountered in the New World. In short, these relations were poor. As soon as they arrived, the English were in conflict with the native people. At Jamestown, Captain John Smith briefly managed to get the colony on pretty solid footing with the local tribes, but it didn't last, and a long series of wars with the natives ensued. This pattern would continue in US history, with settlers pushing into native lands and pushing the inhabitants further west. In this episode, you'll learn about Wahunsunacawh (who the English called Powhatan), his daughter Pocahontas, King Philip's (aka Metacom) War, and the Mystic Massacre. By and large, the history of the Natives and the English was not a happy one, even Thanksgiving wasn't all it's cracked up to be.
    Hey teachers and students - Check out CommonLit's free collection of reading passages and curriculum resources to learn more about the events of this episode. The English tried and failed for a decade to establish a foothold in the New World in Native territory, leading to the lost colony of Roanoke: www.commonlit.org/texts/settl...
    When Jamestown was finally established in Virginia in 1607, the local Powhatan tribes sought friendly relations with the settlers, which quickly deteriorated: www.commonlit.org/texts/chief...

      Agreed! I think I would have actually enjoyed learning history if my teachers had taught more of the "why?" questions addressed here, and shared the history instead of the mythology. It was such rote memorization of name-date-place, name-date-place.

    • @Gufberg
      @Gufberg Před 10 lety +12

      Kate C. Thats interesting. Where i come from this is considered the old discredited school of History. Modern history teachers (again, where i come from) focus almost exclusively on the "why" and don't care too much if you misremember an event by a few years or a decade. And you're right, that approach is very conductive to the appreciation of History.

    In the spirit of accuracy (leaving out the political innuendo), the seal of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not nor ever did have the picture of an Indian with the words in a 'bubble' saying: "Come over and Help Us". That seal was used by the "Massachusetts Bay Colony". It was used from 1629-1686 when it was 'annulled' and then again from 1689-1692. So, yes it was used by the MBC, but has NOT been used for 324 years. To quote John "... the Massachusetts seal WHICH FEATURES (which infers it is the current seal) an Indian saying: "Come over and help us". (emphasis added). John, mispronouncing things is OK in this format, but not giving false/misleading information.

    1. The first English Settlers came to the Chesapeake area (now Virginia) in 1607.
    2. Both the European and the Indigenous traded goods that they had in surplus to those they did not. The English were happy to give up iron utensils, tools, guns, woven cloth, in exchange for furs and, especially in the early days, food which the Indians could easily part with because they had plenty.
    3. John Smith is important to the Indian and European story because when he left Virginia for England after being injured in a gunpowder explosion, things between the Native Americans and the English immediately began to deteriorate.
    4. The English went back to stealing the indians crops and also began stealing their lives (they killed a lot of the Indians)
    5. In 1675, Native Americans launched their biggest attack on New England colonists in what would be known as King Philips War.

    I met the Pueblo Tribe not too long ago and saw them greet the sun on the first day of the year. It was below zero weather and they were performing their rituals in loincloths and not much else, while we stood there in 4 layers of winter clothing freezing our behinds off. My first though was: how the hell did these people lose to us? Pueblos are tough as hell.

    "The Indians lived all over this land before we came and killed them
    That was very bad of us
    We thought we needed the land
    But for the most part
    We just ruined it anyway
    And now, nobody can use it
    That's the way we are
    We're pigs
    One of my favorite foods to eat is called corn
    The Indians call it "maize"
    We call the Indians "Indians"
    This is because Columbus thought he was in India
    When he first came to this land
    Some people say we should call the Indians "Native Americans"
    'Cause they were here in America before us
    But before us, this land wasn't called "America"
    It was named "America" by a mapmaker who never even came here
    He just lived in Europe
    And made maps and when he found out about this land
    He just made a map of it
    And just put his name on it
    'Cause he could
    That's the way we are
    We're pigs
    As I was writing this
    A cockroach fell from the sky and onto the table
    I killed it
    'Cause I did
    That's the way I am
    This doesn't really have very much to do with the Indians, though
    I guess I got kind of sidetracked
    Anyway, I hope you see my point"

Would you rather be living in a grass and mud community tribal hut, and have to be in the position of destroying the United States, would that be better? And try talking about the great indian spirit which is related to corn or animals, maybe you could go into a shaman indian trance getting high on whatever. Indian destruction is real sad, but what would you have done, and What can you do now?

    They followed mercantile theory, which basically said more land = more wealth = more power. They were in a constant war with France, so they took America to generate more work and thus more goods and thus more wealth. The whole plan was to just get as rich as possible so that they could be better than France.

    I'm an American currently living in Spain and love the history here. If you ever need a topic, I wouldn't mind seeing you guys do Al-Andalus and Castile-Leon, or the Spanish Civil War (which was much more important than most people realize in shaping WW2).
    Just an idea for when you guys are looking for a topic.
